Quiet two-bedroom apartment with two balconies and a gated, family-friendly courtyard

For sale in Budapest’s District IX, close to Ferenc tér and Tompa utca: a 63 m² apartment (59 m² interior + 8 m² balconies) on the 4th floor of a building with an elevator.

Asking price and possession

The asking price is HUF 105.8 million. An optional 3 m² storage unit equipped with a metal shelving system is also available for HUF 2.5 million, bringing the combined asking price of the apartment and storage unit to HUF 108.3 million.

Possession can be arranged at short notice. Alternatively, if more convenient for the buyer, we may be open to renting the apartment back until the end of June 2027.

The apartment

The apartment is located in a well-maintained residential building completed in 2005. It faces northeast and overlooks the inner courtyard. Thanks to the large open space in front of it, the apartment is surprisingly bright. Both balconies overlook a quiet, central part of one of the three interconnected courtyards, providing a peaceful setting almost completely shielded from street traffic and noise.

The layout is practical and includes an entrance hall with built-in wardrobe storage, an open-plan kitchen and living room, two separate bedrooms, a bathroom with a bathtub and toilet, and a separate guest toilet. The master bedroom is air-conditioned, and there are no direct neighbors on either side of it, further enhancing the apartment’s quietness. With two separate bedrooms, the apartment is ideal for a family, but it can also comfortably accommodate two university students.

Heating is provided by underfloor heating throughout most of the apartment, complemented by a radiator in the living room. Hot water is supplied by a gas boiler.

The bathroom and toilet were fully renovated in 2022, featuring Porcelanosa tiles and custom-made cabinetry by a carpenter. New interior doors and a new kitchen worktop were also installed that year. Except for the bathroom, toilet and master bedroom, the apartment has wood-effect Quick-Step vinyl flooring suitable for underfloor heating.

One of the apartment’s most distinctive features: the gated inner courtyard

The building’s gated inner courtyard is located within the block bordered by Mester utca, Viola utca, Balázs Béla utca and Bokréta utca.

The courtyard features several playgrounds, sandpits and slides. It is particularly convenient for families with young children, while older children can safely go downstairs to play on their own, as the entire area is gated. Bicycle storage is also available.

For a city-centre apartment, we believe this offers one of the best combinations: all the advantages of urban life are just minutes away, while children have a safe playground right outside their home.

The neighborhood

Ferenc tér is approximately a 2-minute walk away, while Tompa utca is lined with restaurants, cafés and terraces. Mester utca, the 4–6 tram line, the metro, Boráros tér, Corvin-negyed and Lurdy Ház are all nearby, and Corvin Plaza is also easily accessible. The nearby universities and excellent public transport connections also make the location popular with university students. The Danube waterfront, Orczy Park, the Füvészkert botanical garden, Haller Park, Müpa Budapest, the National Theatre and the Millennium City Center are also close by.

The ongoing redevelopment of Mester utca, scheduled for completion in 2027, will further enhance the appeal of the area, creating a greener and more livable public space with improved pedestrian and cycling connections.

One of the location’s greatest advantages is that it is genuinely close to the lively city center while still being situated in a quiet part of the neighborhood. The apartment’s courtyard-facing position reinforces this sense of tranquility.

Other information

The apartment does not come with a garage, although garage spaces are typically available for rent or purchase on level -1 of the building.

If you are looking for an apartment in District IX where being close to the city center does not mean living with city-center noise, it is well worth viewing.
